The city of Ketchum is seeking artists to design the 2022 Wagon Days poster. Selected artwork will be the official poster for the 2022 celebration of Wagon Days and will be incorporated onto souvenir items such as commemorative mugs, pins, T-shirts, etc. All art submissions are welcome, including preliminary sketches.

The selected artist will receive a stipend of $350. Photographers, graphic artists and others working in creative fields are encouraged to apply. Submissions are due by April 30 and should be emailed to heather@sunvalleyevents.com.

Over the years, the posters have become treasured souvenirs of the annual Wagon Days celebration and many have become collectors’ items. Posters and souvenir items will be on display and offered for sale at Wagon Days headquarters leading up to and during Wagon Days, which takes place Sept. 2–3, 2022. Headquarters will be located at the Ore Wagon Museum on the corner of East Avenue and Fifth Street.
